WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton said her use of a private email system at the State Department wasn't the "best choice" and acknowledged in an interview that she didn't "stop and think" about her email setup when she became President Barack Obama's secretary of state in 2009.
Clinton said in an interview with NBC News on Friday that she wasn't "thinking a lot" about it when she joined President Barack Obama's administration. She said that they had "so many problems around the world" and that she didn't think about what kind of email system there would be.
But Clinton did not apologize for her decision when asked directly, "Are you sorry?" Instead, she again said she wishes she had "made a different choice" and that she takes responsibility for the decision to use a private email account and server based at her home in suburban New York.
She said it doesn't raise questions about her judgment.
